Reviews

'This is an excellent book, well written, easy to read, with sound science and provocative thoughts leavened with common sense...This is different from most 'weather' books...I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in meteorology and its place in human affairs.' Maurice Crewe--,

This wonderful book has the true historic sense, at least as far as the last 10,000 years are concerned. I will not hesitate to name it as my book of the year. What a huge difference it exhibits between meteorology proper and the politicised mumbo jumbo that too often passes as modern science. --John Vincent, Professor of History at Bristol
